The SHIB community has issued a critical warning about an ongoing scam targeting holders of the BAD token.
According to Shibarium Trustwatch, malicious actors have created a fake reward claim portal designed to mimic the official site and deceive users into connecting their wallets.
Fake Site Poses Major Security Risk
The scam site reportedly invites users to connect their wallets to “verify” eligibility for token rewards. Once connected, users risk having their funds drained. The fraudulent platform uses misleading messages and a near-identical design to the legitimate site to create a false sense of authenticity.
Key red flags include:
- A counterfeit claim portal resembling the official design.
- Prompts to connect wallets for eligibility verification.
- Deceptive language suggesting users are entitled to claim rewards.
Steps the Community Should Take to Stay Safe
The Shibarium Trustwatch team urges all community members to remain cautious and follow these guidelines:
- Do not connect your wallet to any unverified or suspicious websites.
- Verify all announcements through official SHIB channels or trusted sources before engaging in transactions.
- Report the scam to moderators and inform fellow SHIB holders to reduce exposure.
Community Call to Action
This alert comes at a time when phishing and fake airdrop scams are surging across the crypto space. By spreading awareness and remaining vigilant, SHIB supporters can help prevent further wallet compromises.
The SHIB team reminds users: stay alert, stay secure—and always double-check before connecting wallets.
